Clueless NASCAR Is Sharply Made Fun of by Kyle Busch, Who Calls Out “Unprofessional” COTA Errors

Kyle Busch, known for his candidness, did not hold back his frustration following the recent NASCAR Cup Series race at the Circuit of The Americas (COTA).

The two-time Cup Series champion criticized NASCAR’s inconsistent enforcement of track limits, labeling the officiating as “unprofessional” and suggesting that officials “ain’t got a clue.”

During Stage 1 of the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix, Busch observed competitors, notably Shane van Gisbergen, repeatedly cutting Turn 6 without facing penalties.

He expressed his concerns over the team radio, highlighting the lack of enforcement in that specific turn. Busch remarked, “I’ve just been around a few guys that aren’t paying attention to the candy stripes in Turn 6.” He further criticized NASCAR’s shifting stance on track limits, noting, “I heard they were going to police turns 4, 5, and 6. Then it turned into 3, 4, 5, and yesterday it was only 4 and 5.”

Busch emphasized the need for consistent enforcement of track limits, drawing parallels to other professional racing series.

He stated, “We need to be a professional Racing League that knows how to handle it professionally. You look at Formula 1 and V8 Supercar… they all have track limits.”

The race’s outcome added to Busch’s frustrations. Leading for a race-high 42 laps, his advantage was erased following a late caution triggered by an incident involving his teammate, Austin Dillon. Busch ultimately finished fifth, with Christopher Bell taking the victory.

Fans and fellow drivers echoed Busch’s sentiments, expressing dissatisfaction with NASCAR’s inconsistent officiating. The controversy has intensified discussions about the need for clearer and more consistent enforcement of track regulations to maintain the sport’s integrity.

As the season progresses, all eyes will be on NASCAR’s response to these criticisms and whether they implement measures to ensure consistent officiating in future events.
